Project Description

The Connector JPA is partnering with the City of Elk Grove and County of Sacramento on preliminary engineering and environmental analysis for the 6.44-mile Connector alignment between I-5 and State Route 99 (segments A1 and A2), also known as the Kammerer Road Project. The project’s first phase includes constructing four lanes from Lent Ranch Parkway west to the I-5/Hood-Franklin interchange. The project also includes relocation of utilities, creation of new drainage facilities, and four existing and four new access connections:

Project Need

Kammerer Road within the City of Elk Grove and south Sacramento County currently exists only between Bruceville Road and Lent Ranch Parkway, and a continuous route from Interstate 5 to State Route 99 is needed to meet current and forecasted traffic demand. Vehicle traffic on the corridor's existing section and other adjacent transportation corridors continues to grow, increasing safety concerns for area travelers. The proposed improvements will improve travel safety and security for all corridor transportation modes. In addition, substantial approved growth within the corridor requires advanced transportation planning consistent with the Sacramento Area Council of Governments’ Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy 2036, and the City of Elk Grove and Sacramento County General Plans.

Project Purpose

​The Kammerer Road Project will greatly improve east-west circulation in the City of Elk Grove and south Sacramento County, and provide greater mobility for residential areas and employment centers along the corridor. Additionally, this segment will:

IMPROVE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS AND ACCOMMODATE TRAVEL

IMPROVE MOBILITY AND SAFETY FOR ALL MODES INCLUDING BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS

IMPLEMENT A TRANSPORTATION NEWTORK THAT MEETS REGIONAL AND LOCAL GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
